@dark_knightmare2 I think you are misled. They can easily lower margins if they desired. They just don’t desire it. How many billions did they clear last quarter? I probably didn’t word my comment very well but my point was they could meet the consumer half way if they wanted.

@dark_knightmare2 “29 percent voting Sony being greedy”

“it’s going to crater their sales and the money they can make”

Doesn’t that prove the point?

Sony could easily lower some margins (to make less profit) and meet the consumer half way to help navigate this fiasco. Instead it’s just being passed fully to the consumer, hence greed.

"We know that price changes impact our community, and after careful evaluation, we found this was a necessary step to ensure we can continue delivering innovative, high-quality gaming experiences to players worldwide,"

Alternatively Sony you could stop wasting project after project, cancelling team after team and manage your money better in the first place likely meaning this wouldn’t need to occur at all. The amount of money wasted this gen has been insane and we’re now paying for it.
